Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 206 / Wednesday, October 24, 2018 / Notices
include data from an external data
source, no later than: (1) 180 days after
the end of the 30-day comment period
if CMS receives no written comments
from the community; and (2) 180 days
after the end of the 30-day rebuttal
period if CMS receives written
comments from the community,
regardless of whether the physicianowned hospital submitting the request
submits a rebuttal statement
(§ 411.362(c)(5)(ii)).
If we grant the request for an
exception to the prohibition on
expansion of facility capacity, the
expansion may occur only in facilities
on the hospital’s main campus and may
not result in the number of operating
rooms, procedure rooms, and beds for
which the hospital is licensed to exceed
200 percent of the hospital’s baseline
number of operating rooms, procedure
rooms, and beds (§ 411.362(c)(6)). The
CMS decision to grant or deny a
hospital’s request for an exception to the
prohibition on expansion of facility
capacity must be published in the
Federal Register in accordance with our
regulations at § 411.362(c)(7).
III. Hospital Exception Request
As permitted by section 1877(i)(3) of
the Act and our regulations at
§ 411.362(c), the following physicianowned hospital has requested an
exception to the prohibition on
expansion of facility capacity:
Name of Facility: St. James Behavioral
Health Hospital Inc.
Location: 3136 S. Saint Landry Ave.,
Gonzales, Louisiana 70737–5801.
Basis for Exception Request: High
Medicaid Facility.
We seek comments on this request
from individuals and entities in the
community in which the hospital is
located. We encourage interested parties
to review the hospital’s request, which
is posted on the CMS website at: https://
www.cms.gov/Medicare/Fraud-andAbuse/PhysicianSelfReferral/Physician_
Owned_Hospitals.html. We especially
welcome comments regarding whether
the hospital qualifies as a high Medicaid
facility. Under § 411.362(c)(3), a high
Medicaid facility is a hospital that
satisfies all of the following criteria:
• Is not the sole hospital in the
county in which the hospital is located.
• With respect to each of the 3 most
recent 12-month periods for which data
are available as of the date the hospital
submits its request, has an annual
percent of total inpatient admissions
under Medicaid that is estimated to be
greater than such percent with respect
to such admissions for any other
hospital located in the county in which
the hospital is located.
• Does not discriminate against
beneficiaries of Federal health care
programs and does not permit
physicians practicing at the hospital to
discriminate against such beneficiaries.
Individuals and entities wishing to
submit comments on the hospital’s
request should review the DATES and
ADDRESSES sections above and state
whether or not they are in the
community in which the hospital is
located.
IV. Collection of Information
Requirements
This document does not impose
information collection requirements,
that is, reporting, recordkeeping or
third-party disclosure requirements.
Consequently, there is no need for
review by the Office of Management and
Budget under the authority of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
IV. Response to Comments
Because of the large number of public
comments we normally receive on
Federal Register documents, we are not
able to acknowledge or respond to them
individually. We will consider all
comments we receive by the date and
time specified in the DATES section of
this preamble, and, when we proceed
with a subsequent document, we will
respond to the comments in the
preamble to that document.
Dated: October 17, 2018.

Administrator, Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services.

Title: Low Income Home Energy
Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Carryover
and Reallotment Report FRN2
Clearance.
OMB No.: 0970–0106.
Description: The LIHEAP statute and
regulations require LIHEAP grantees to
report certain information to HHS
concerning funds forwarded and funds
subject to reallotment. The 1994
reauthorization of the LIHEAP statute,
the Human Service Amendments of
1994 (Pub. L. 103–252), requires that the
Carryover and Reallotment Report for
one fiscal year be submitted to HHS by
the grantee before the allotment for the
next fiscal year may be awarded.
The Administration for Children and
Families is requesting no changes in the
collection of data with the Carryover
and Reallotment Report, a form for the
collection of data, and the Simplified
Instructions for Timely Obligations of
LIHEAP Funds and Reporting Funds for
Carryover and Reallotment. The form
clarifies the information being requested
and ensures the submission of all the
required information. The form
facilitates our response to numerous
queries each year concerning the
amounts of obligated funds. Use of the
form is voluntary. Grantees have the
option to use another format.
Respondents: State Governments,
Tribal Governments, Insular Areas, the
District of Columbia, and the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

Title: Annual Report on Households
Assisted by the Low Income Home
Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).
OMB No.: 0970–0060.
Description: This report is an annual
activity required by statute (42 U.S.C.
8629) and Federal regulations (45 CFR
96.92) for the Low Income Home Energy
Assistance Program (LIHEAP).
Submission of the completed report is
one requirement for LIHEAP grantees
applying for Federal LIHEAP block
grant funds.
Grantees required to complete the
Long Format of the Household Report
are required to report statistics for the
previous Federal fiscal year on:
• Assisted and applicant households,
by type of LIHEAP assistance;
• Assisted and applicant households,
by type of LIHEAP assistance and
poverty level;
• Assisted households receiving
nominal payments of $50 or less;
• Assisted households receiving only
utility payment assistance;
• Assisted households, regardless of
the type(s) of LIHEAP assistance,
excluding households that only receive
nominal payments of $50 or less;
• Assisted households, by type of
LIHEAP assistance, having at least one
vulnerable member who is at least 60
years or older, disabled, or five years old
or younger;
• Assisted households, regardless of
the type(s) of LIHEAP assistance, having
at least one member 60 years or older,
disabled, or five years old or younger.
Grantees required to complete the
Short Format of the Household Report
are required to submit data only on the
number of households receiving
heating, cooling, energy crisis, or
weatherization benefits.
The information is being collected for
the Department’s annual LIHEAP report
to Congress. The data also provides
information about the need for LIHEAP
funds. Finally, the data are used in the
calculation of LIHEAP performance
measures under the Government
Performance and Results Act of 1993.
The additional data elements will
improve the accuracy of measuring
LIHEAP targeting performance and
LIHEAP cost efficiency.
ACF published a Federal Register
notice on August 17, 2018 soliciting 60
days of public comment on the renewal
of the LIHEAP Household Report
without any changes. No comments
were received during this timeframe.
Respondents: State Governments,
Tribal Governments, Insular Areas, and
the District of Columbia.
